“…Selected elements of LibreSocial have been partially published before and reached very positive reaction in the community, corresponding dissertations 21,55,56,57 around LibreSocial elaborate on specific elements, such as the overlay, the storage and the monitoring. This is the first in detail overview on the overall architecture and interdependencies of the elements.…”

Distributed online social networks (DOSNs) were first proposed to solve the problem of privacy, security and scalability. A significant amount of research was undertaken to offer viable DOSN solutions that were capable of competing with the existing centralized OSN applications such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. This research led to the emergence of the use of peer-topeer (P2P) networks as a possible solution, upon which several OSNs such as LifeSocial.KOM, Safebook, PeerSoN among others were based. In this paper, we define the basic requirements for an P2P OSN. We then revisit one of the first P2P-based OSNs, LifeSocial.KOM, that is now called LibreSocial, which evolved in the past years to address the challenges of running a completely decentralized social network. Over the course of time, several essential new technologies have been incorporated within LibreSocial for better functionalities. In this paper we describe the architecture and each individual component of LibreSocial and point out how LibreSocial meets the basic requirements for a fully functional distributed OSN.
